Glad you cleared this up Frank. Guess Google should just stop using Linux so
that it can become a "real business", like you supposedly run. The same
could be said for IBM. And let's not forget Novell and all the rest of
those "real" businesses that just aren't getting it right, unless they
follow Frank's lead. Now tell us Frank, if you ran Google and had 1 million
servers to run like Google does, how you'd do it? I'm sure that company
would love to hear from you and have you share your expertise with them.

On second thought, never mind replying. You'll just sidestep the thing and
shovel out your abuse.
